Hidden Markov Models [closed]

Question

I want to get started on HMM's, but don't know how to go about it. Can people here, give me some basic pointers, where to look?

More than just the theory, I like to do a lot of hands-on. So, would prefer resources, where I can write small code snippets to check my learning, rather than just dry text.

Answer 1

Check out the Wikipedia article on HMMs: they have a pretty solid example after all the theory stuff. If you want to get some practice on it, Ruby Quiz has some great Markov model implementations that you can try changing to be HMMs.
